Kershaw every knife comes with a lifetime warranty, even the 12$ kershaw half ton
Zero tolerance Same company as kershaw but higher price point and more tactical
Spyderco All knives got it
Buck Theres is great
CRKT they are alright with their warranty
Then your semi custom makers, hinderer CRK and Strider all got their lifetime warranty

Kershaw and ZT have limited warranties. If you bust the tip off using it as a screw driver they dont like it. If you ask nice they would probably re-shape it for you. They take great care of their customers.

Spyderco warranties is so so, Ive read a couple of post where they would make you pay for the knife to be fixed.

I think most, if not all, of the major reputable production knife companies have limited lifetime warranties. That said, though, there are still some that stand apart from the others. Namely, they'll go to greater lengths to make sure you are taken care, even if what you are asking falls outside the strict scope of the warranty policy.

Two that I think stand above the rest are KAI (Kershaw / Zero Tolerance) and Leatherman. KAI's customer service is responsive and very accommodating. They're also one of the few (if not only) that won't void your warranty if you disassemble your knife (cleaning/maintenance and such). In addition, they'll even send small replacement parts (screws, torsion bar, pocket clip, etc.) for their factory blems, which explicitly carry no warranty. As for Leatherman, their warranty seems to be if you can break it, they'll replace it, no questions asked.

Step 1: Open a few dozen threads.
Step 2: Make a list of every knife mentioned in the aforementioned threads.
Step 3: Look up the companies that make the aforementioned knives mentioned in the aforementioned threads.
Step 4: Ta-daa!
Seeing as the vast majority of the companies and knives talked about here have lifetime warranties, it would probably be easier, (though equally stupid,) to list those who didn't.
